What I'm looking for

I’m looking to edit and optimize high-retention videos for YouTube and short-form platforms, collaborating with brands in fast-paced workflows. I want clear feedback, consistent briefs, and the freedom to use pacing, motion graphics, and sound to drive growth.

I never planned to become a video editor.

In 2022, I was leading a university project when the person meant to edit our video could no longer do it.

With no other option, I decided to learn how to edit it myself.

When the editor eventually saw the finished work, he couldn't believe it was my first edit.

His words were: "Enoch, you are a natural", and that stuck with me.

Fast forward four years, and video editing has become my career. I've worked with creators, brands, and agencies, creating content for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and more.

One of the highlights of my journey has been editing for a YouTube channel that grew from 700 subscribers to 130K+ in 14 months.

I'm currently looking to connect with creators, founders, and brands who need help turning their ideas into engaging videos.
